Your Committee on Finance, to which was referred S.B. No. 2838, S.D. 2, H.D. 1, entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT MAKING AN APPROPRIATION FOR THE COMPREHENSIVE SCHOOL ALIENATION PROGRAM,"
begs leave to report as follows:
The purpose of this bill is to ensure the continued identification, counseling, retention, and education of at-risk high school students by:
(1) Appropriating funds for the Comprehensive School Alienation Program (CSAP); and
(2) Specifying that the allocation of CSAP funds to the High Core Program in the central district is exempt from the weighted student formula.
The Hawaii State Teachers Association and numerous concerned individuals testified in support of this bill. The Department of Education supported the intent of this measure.
Your Committee has amended this bill by:
(1) Changing its effective date to July 1, 2020, to encourage further discussion; and
(2) Making technical, nonsubstantive amendments for clarity, consistency, and style.
As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Finance that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 2838, S.D. 2, H.D. 1, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Third Reading in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 2838, S.D. 2, H.D. 2.
